I think this photo would be better if more of the subject in it. I just can't tell what this is. A snake? B&W is fine, just a little lighter, more in focus.
I'll probably be dumbfounded when this challenge is all over and I understand what great insight you have to the subject of "touch", but right now, with no explanation, I'm just lost. I have no idea what I'm looking at. I CAN see, from the object close to the left foreground, that there "might" be frost on it - and thus the title. But, that's as close as I can get to an understanding. Good luck with the other raters.
I wish I knew what this was, because I like the tones and the compoistion.,, but for the life of me, I don't know what that is!! Is it something that's got freezer burn? Ugh! I wish you could tell me! Sigh. I'm giving you a 6. If I figure out what it is before voting ends, I'll bump it up. :)
I think I know where you were going with this, but I don't think it quite made it. Maybe less cropping. Is this a gas cylinder? A high rubber hose? Metal tubing?
